The
Liberals say the latest figures from the Finance Department — which
show a small deficit in the last fiscal year — confirm that the Tories
left the books in the red when they lost the election last fall.

However,
the Conservatives place blame for the deficit squarely on the Liberals —
continuing a war of words over the state of the government's finances.

The
Finance Department said Friday there was a $2-billion deficit for
fiscal 2015-16, based on preliminary estimates. The result comes before
any year-end adjustments as well as a $3.7-billion commitment to
benefits for veterans.

For months now, Tories have pressed the Liberal government
to admit it inherited a surplus. Interim Tory Leader Rona Ambrose (link is

days after the Finance Department released a report showing Ottawa ran a
surplus of $7.5-billion over the first 11 months of the fiscal year.

Trudeau promised he would have THREE deficits and this is a promise he has not failed to deliver. In order for the budget to be balanced, the spend-happy Liberals will have raise taxes and inflate the dollar.

Security researchers have tied the recent spate of digital breaches
on Asian banks to North Korea, in what they say appears to be the first
known case of a nation using digital attacks for financial gain.

In three recent attacks on banks, researchers working for the digital
security firm Symantec said, the thieves deployed a rare piece of code
that had been seen in only two previous cases: the hacking attack at
Sony Pictures in December 2014, and attacks on banks and media companies
in South Korea in 2013. Government officials in the United States and
South Korea have blamed those attacks on North Korea, though they have
not provided independent verification.On Thursday, the Symantec researchers said they had uncovered
evidence linking an October attack at a bank in the Philippines with
attacks on Tien Phong Bank in Vietnam in December and one in February on
the central bank of Bangladesh that resulted in the theft of more than
US$81 million.

“If you believe North Korea was behind those attacks, then the bank
attacks were also the work of North Korea,” said Eric Chien, a security
researcher at Symantec, who found that the identical code was used
across all three attacks.

Researchers from Yale University In America discovered that measuring
how much glucose the brain uses is a good indicator of how much damage
has been done, and whether a patient will recover awareness within a
year.

Currently there is no way of telling how long it will take for
someone with brain damage to regain consciousness, and families are
often forced to take the heartbreaking decision of switching off life
support systems.
